The Favourite is also in the running for the outstanding British film gong, alongside Beast, McQueen, Stan and Ollie, You Were Never Really Here and Bohemian Rhapsody - although film-maker Bryan Singer's name has been removed from the names listed on the Queen film's nomination in the wake of sexual abuse allegations, which he has denied.

Mary Poppins Returns, a sequel to the 1964 original, starring Emily Blunt, received three nominations in the technical categories - original music, production design and costume design - but missed out in all of the major categories.
